I've been getting this mysterious message on logging into KDE:
We're sorry, it looks like /usr/bin/python2 crashed. Please contact the developer
if you want to report the issue.
It's been happening for a very long time now but I've never noticed any
consequence. All I know is that it appears in a Plasma pop-up whenever
I log in, but there are no other details. I finally got tired of it and
decided to ask if anyone else is seeing it.
Of course it may not be a KDE problem but this is as good a place as
any to start.

Nope. Not seeing that at all. I suppose the obvious question would be
what, if any, widgets are you starting on your desktop. And, again
obvious, if you create a new user from scratch does the crash occur?
And, if the answer is no, can you configure the new user's desktop the
same as yours and reproduce the issue.

I'm jet lagged. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Digging in /var/log/messages* and /var/spool/abrt shows that most
(though not all) of the crashes come from kactivitymanagerd, which is
ironic as I don't explicitly use Activities (never having been able to
understand the point of them when we already have multiple desktops)
and would much prefer just to delete the whole thing, but that's not
possible.
